This past Sunday, Shawn Fuller, a 31-year-old open-carry advocate from Iredell County, North Carolina, shot and killed his two toddler sons, ages 3 and 4, after a domestic dispute with his wife. Fuller is in critical condition at a nearby hospital, having shot himself in the head. Fuller had apparently spent his day shooting at bottles and […]
A Nickelodeon show about a cheerleader who becomes the quarterback of her school football team has some crazy ass racists up in arms and getting very upset on the internets – and I have to say, as evil as they are, this is so stupid it’s almost hilarious. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I have a kind […]
You know, it’s terribly cliché these days to get all frustrated and start screaming “YOU’VE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD!” over some dumb adaptation of a cartoon from the ’80s. I won’t say that the new Jem movie is ruining my childhood, because it’s not. My childhood, along with my memories of the “Jem and The Holograms” […]
In a clever bit of trolling from the New York Times’ Parenting blog, Jack Cheng, an Asian man, throws his wife — a white woman — under the bus by telling the world that she no longer considers herself 100 percent white. Weird. How can someone’s race change over time? By having and raising two biracial children, that’s […]
“Fresh Off The Boat” is a bonafide critical success. Audiences love it for the wonder that is Constance Wu and the representation of a culture so rarely seen on network TV.

I would say to young people just to take those risks, but try to be a little calculated about them, and at the very least, […]
In tragic, stomach-turning news, the remains of former “Food Network Star” contestant Christie Schoen Codd and her husband Joseph Codd were discovered in a wood-burning stove belonging to their neighbor, Robert Owens. In an even more gruesome turn of events, Christie was five months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. Christie and Joseph were reported […]
Cold-ass weekend weather means Tink, popcorn, “Nightcrawler” and Wonder Woman. Stay in, you weirdos. READ My psychiatrist said that How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie should be required reading for everyone, so I might as well start now, right? I assume that reading it will enable me to become supreme ruler of […]
About once a week, I “work from home,” which really means that I work from a coffee shop near my apartment. It’s a pleasantly balanced crowd — the other young professionals tapping on their laptops give it an “office away from the office” feel, but the parents with strollers and groups gathered around tables remind […]
